The Menzies' of olden days the Larch Tree, flourishes all over Scotland.

"This is extremely good," said Bob Stroud, chairman of the Oshawa blood donor clinic, "we did not think that we would do so well considering people are off on holidays." CM LL Oshawa's letter carriers are unhappy with settlement terms offered by Judge J. C, Ander- son, the government appointed commissioner to end the postal dispute. "I will prepare for a strike next week," said Ted Williams, president of the local branch of the Federated Association of Letter Carriers, today. "It may come to that if the demands of the postal employees are' not met." Mr. Williams said that the local letter carriers and other postal employees are awaiting instructions from the Canadian Postal Workers Brotherhood, ai organization made up by the FALC, the Postal Employees Association, and the Canadian Railway Mail Clerks Federation. BLOOD CLINIC REACHES GOAL He said that 97 of the blood donors were giving blood for the first time. "We are also happy to have the newcomers as_ they should make things easier for us in the future." Between 10 and 12 bottles of a rare type of blood were also collected yesterday. "The call went out for group AB blood as both Oshawa and Toronto had POU IU LL eC Mailmen Unhappy; Another Strike Looms were told that the CPWB would organize us in the event of dis- satisfaction with the govern- liams. "'We are just awaiting word of their plans to take a referendum now." He said that local letter car- riers and mail clerks '"'are un- happy with Judge Anderson's terms. The $660 increase we asked for was the minimum which would bring us up. tod a decent standard of living. "This just seems to be a form of appeasement -- and is an offer with a good chance of sending the men out again. Some of us are upset by the fact that a $360 raise is back dated to-Oct. 1 last year and the rest to Aug. 1 this year," said Mr. Williams. "Why was it "When the strike ended we not all backdated?"

Separate School Board trus- tees last night chose the low design over a two-storey alter- native for the 3.45-acre site to save $20,000. The low school would cost approximately $175,000 while the other would be $195,000, estimated board architect Wil- liam Saccoccio. | Although there would be a long-run saving with the two- storey structure if the school were expanded to 16 rooms, trustees decided the initial costs involved demanded the one- Storey design be chosen. Mr. Saccoccio was directed to draw further sketches for pres- entation to the board in two weeks with heating and wash- room facilities for only eight; rooms, in an attempt to bring |costs even lower -- to $160,000.

Waterloo U Bought Files PICKERING -- The files of the Home Bank, which were sold by tender this week, have been purchased by the Univer- sity of Waterloo. Four tenders, the majority from public and semi-public bodies, were re- ceived. Stored in a barn in the village, the files were the property of Mrs. Florence Simonds, whose first husband, A, E.

No Time For Sergeants For Catholic More Separate School trustees appear to be hockey fans than admirers of the military. An attempt by Ivan Wallace to adjourn the board meeting last night at 8 p.m. so trustees could attend the Ontario Regi- ment Student Militia passing out parade at the Armories was defeated. Trustee Wallace argued that meetings have been changed so they wouldn't conflict with NHL Revenge The branch 'president also| Said that the strike in Oshawa! was not spurred only by wage} demands. He stated that work- ing conditions and the Jack of fringe benefits were also factors in the walkout. "TI don't know what we are going to do now," he said, "other than wait and see what the Brotherhood executive is going to do. If they don't get moving they might find some of their branches moving off and joining other unions," said Mr. Williams. Is Sweet; Lads Had A Ball Jack McDonald is getting married Saturday--but dragged his ball and chain across a local shopping plaza parking lot yesterday. Jack, 22, of King st. s. Whitby, was cornered by a group of friends at the K-Mart shopping centre, as he left the Dominion Store where he works as an assistant manager. In a flash he was shackled to a 65-pound solid lead ball and| left in the centre of the lot. Jack had to hobble some 50 yards to the store -- carrying the ball which was on a foot-long chain-- to escape rush-hour traffic. Later he was taken home by his buddies where' he was re- leased. . The gag was organized by Jim Quail, also of Whitby. "'I got' married two years ago," said Mr. Quail, "and at the wed- ding reception Jack was one of a group of fellows who threw me into a swimming pool -- when I was wearing a tuxedo. "Now I have got my revenge." Trustees } games and suggested an hour's adjournment for this would con- tribute towards equal recogni- tion with the Oshawa Board of Education, since that body would be represented at 'the parade. He was supported by acting- chairman Mrs. Winona Clarke who said it would be "good public relations."

"If we stop debating this topic we'll be finished in 'tinie to attend the parade," said Dr. Sciuk. Trustee Ernest Marks said he couldn't agree to an adjourn- ment since the board was assembled to discuss board busi+ ness which should take priority over parade functions.
